Does regular kerosene at gas stations burn hotter than this one?

Multiple variables can impact the temperature at which is burns compared to gas station kerosene and should only be used as indicated on the product label. Klean-Strip 1-K Kerosene is refined to within a very tight boiling range so that the oily residues are not included. Klean-Strip 1-K Kerosene is a much more highly refined product than the pump kerosene. The sulfur content is much lower than most pump grade kerosene. Overall, this means that Klean-Strip 1-K Kerosene is cleaner burning and promotes longer wick life. Please call our Klean Strip helpline at 1-800-398-3892 when you have questions about our products.
